I found this poem and thought of the amazing staff that we have at Willard South. This weekend was a very difficult one for each and every educator and parent across the nation. Please remember that regardless of the terrible tragedy that occurred, we are strong and we will continue to do our best each and every day. I know that I don't say it enough but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all of the things that you do and say each day to make the lives of children a better and brighter place.
